Book Description

A systems analysis technique is applied to the scientific problem solving requirements of a major Air Force research organization to establish: The functional organization of a research support group; A valuable data base for a Customer User Library (CUL); and A Management Information System for scheduling, reporting and control. The report summarizes the functional organization of the Analysis and Simulation Branch of the Computation Center at AFCRL as derived from an analysis of the spectrum of analytical and computational problems originating in the Laboratories. A detailed description the structure and mode of operation of the Customer User Library is provided, together with a discussion of the associated Management Information System. An extensive listing of scientific problem abstracts is provided in the Appendices.
